nominal cell constant of the conductivity sensor
(can be read from the sensor nameplate)
If an ASTM test certificate showing precisely-
measured cell constants is available, in addition
to entering the nominal cell constants the relative
cell constants of all measuring ranges in the cal-
ibration values must be manually entered (cf.
Chapter "Manual entry of calibration values",
page 206). The relative cell constants must be
calculated from nominal cell constants (name-
plate for the sensor) and measured cell con-
stants (ASTM test certificate):
(measured cell constant × 100 %) ÷ nominal cell
constant = relative cell constant.
Calculation example:
nominal cell constant = 0.1 cm
-1
measured cell constant = 0.1014 cm
-1
rel. cell constant =
(0.1014 cm
-1
× 100 %) ÷ 0.1 cm
-1
= 101.4 %
